  1. great post,love it:laugh1:
  2. 10 out of 10 for the welding
  3. Same as, I get customers now and again who say " you,ve done that quick(hint , hint can you do it cheaper than you quoted) I think ,no I havnt stopped to have a fag or spent most of the day txting crap on my phone . I just cracked on and got the job done.
  4. Simple but very effective, I use mine for pulling out posts with metposts:thumbup1:
  5. You for real or having a laugh?
  6. Cant swear on here , but they are fff flipping brilliant:thumbup1:
  7. Great idea in an ideal world, but you may as well have a neon sign saying " I have chainsaws , follow me home and do my sheds over"
  8. Nice big deck,like it:thumbup1:
  9. just googled "are rooks protected" I'm wrong as long as you obtain a certain licence
  10. Good question, rooks are protected and its an offence to disturb active nests, I would contact the rspb and find out your legal rights as to destroying non active nests,
  11. :thumbup1:ditto
  12. I done 2 weeks at lbc works at ridgmont in the eighties, longest 2 weeks of my life, although I did get to keep the goggles and those gloves/pads that resembled inner tube rubber. I,m sure a lot of the polish workers lived there and slept next to the bricked up kilns.
  13. as an apprentice ag fitter, servicing combines in the winter, firstly give the combine a good run, this clears it of rats although some are caught in the elevators etc resulting in rats guts everywhere, then someone has to crawl deep into the belly of the machine to replace rubber curtains which have been eaten through by the rats, as I said I was the apprentice so guess who that someone was. On top of that I had a real fear of rats after being bitten by one as a kid. Last kick in the teeth was that my mates were all earning well over £50 a week, I was on £22
  14. The leaves look like ginko?
  15. no power steering/radio/synchro clutch/heater/air con etc etc, the one I used to drive you needed ear muffs, in the day when we didn't even wear them when using a saw, exhaust fumes pouring into the cab, 38mph maximum. go anywhere though and would pull a house down.
  16. not mine,it belonged to dycols of greenfield, really cant see todays youth driving it today,
  17. 1987 if I remember right
  18. As long as theres an anchor point for a tirfor and its local, £200
  19. another for riko, pity your not nearer , you,d be more than welcome to try my 13 ton riko.
  20. I might be able to take it depending on price.
  21. Yes, and saves an old man a lot of heavy lifting:thumbup1:
  22. my panel lifters quite good
  23. ? had that with ash, especially knotty ash , but never syc . Using a splitter not an axe though.
